Yesterday I impulsively started writing and recording a grindcore / cybergrind track. It started because I talked with a mate about releasing a split on cassette or perhaps 7". So who knows. It's just a rough mix but I was eager to put it online. Tell me what you think, cheers.

I love the 5th mode harmonic minor, sounds very gypsy/egyptionish. I also like playing around with scales I don't know the names of, but will "make one up". Another fun one i've recently got into is the "metallica" scale, which is just harmonic minor, along with adding one degree above the root note, and one note above the 5th degree (I think haha)

Been attempting to do the bedroom metal thing, currently trying to mash riffs together and see what sticks, using GP for basically fast-prototyping. I'm used to just playing bass, so writing it all has been a bit daunting. Been trying for doom, for a long time rhythm player, I'm not very creative with beats. This is somewhat less a complete song, more a couple of sections repeated, and it's pure GP so the guitar sounds shitty, but I'm digging the overall feel. Final version will have real guitars and bass, I try to write shit slow and simple enough for me to play, lol.https://soundcloud.com/drearyracket/descending

Post here what you are currently working on as a musician. Just finished recording the drums for the new song? Experimenting with unconventional scales? Did it go as you wanted or did it fail badly?

Yesterday I began to decrypt those nasty Gorguts songs, starting from Obscura. I got the first two riffs down. They are in natural F minor, minor second and major sixth against the tonic appear couple of times but otherwise they're quite strictly in the key. The harmonization is what makes the music sound the way it sounds. You couldn't know how much dissonance lies within a such tame sounding scale if you didn't know how to harness it. These are the harmonized scale degrees in the opening riff, there are no chords so this isn't really a chord progression. Voice leading is a more suitable term.

Second thing I observed is that the harmony spreads out a lot. Once you invert the dyads and collapse the riffs down you'll be like "Oh I found some minor triads" The tapping lead and the monster riff are a whole new thing to tackle. I already know the latter utilizes quartal harmony but chromatic leads with a backing riff like the one in the song are crazy.

Decided to change Perdu en Soi to Sun Stone Grimoire back in the summer and found an interest in writing the songs about witchcraft and overall things shunned in early America history. I finally finished a song I had recorded in August with my first attempt at vocals as well as a new version of What made the Devil: https://soundcloud.com/a-p-perdu/sets/s ... sty-clouds

I have a lot of stuff written for this as well as redoing a lot of Perdu en Soi to have more direction than it did before now that I have a theme I want to stick to. When the semester ends I hope to get more done.

I just bought a Zoom G1on multi-effects processor and I'm trying some effects with it. Just recorded the guitar parts for a funeral doom track. I'm happy about the result so far. (my project really is all over the place including dark ambient, noisecore, goregrind, black metal, grindcore and now this)

Finishing writing some songs for Sun Stone Grimoire, Something that is honestly a little challenging in writing my sections around vocal parts now that I am doing vocals. Either way I hope to get this wrapped up as well as a few others so I can try to and get some stuff recorded soon.

Finishing 2 new tracks with the mixing and writing bass riffs, the drum programming for another new track. Vocals and lyrics are always the finishing touch but I'm not there yet for this new track. Funeral Doom Metal from my project Atomization.

I have all these musical ideas, sounds, beats running through my head all day and I needed a way to create and express them properly so I started learning how to make music on https://bluebuzzmusic.com/ not so long ago. I use a DAW for music production and now I'm working on my basic beat, sample, layer, mix. Hope I'll finish my first track in the near future. Wish me luck, this is so exciting!

So I have a new project that I've been working on with some local guys that I finally got to track drums for today. Took only 3 years of me putting this stuff together and the session getting delayed over and over again for about half a year before I got to do it. I'm so happy, because this project has really become my pet project that I intend to put my all into.

The band is called Autumn's Ashes. It's a gothic metal band that's heavily influenced by European doom and melodic death metal. We're doing a 3 song EP this year as a teaser for the inevitable full length album that'll hopefully be good to release next year, and that's what I tracked drums for today. Because I don't have any restraint whatsoever, these three songs are about 27 minutes combined, with two of them being almost 10 minutes long. I want to get this EP done and released before the end of the summer.
